Friday afternoon, in an unfortunate incident, there were at least 35 people who are feared to be trapped in Kasturba Gandhi Hospital in Bhopal. The building is still under-construction.

This wing of Kasturba Gandhi Hospital could have collapsed due to poor construction materials, it is speculated. At least 12 people were rescued but 35 others are feared to be trapped under the debris. Further details of the accident will be made available soon.

If hospitals themselves have no safety from poor construction, what is the level of protection the government services can offer to a common man?
